A committee OF gentlemen, composed CT
Messrs. George Brown Henry c. Welday,
Marshal Thompson and l. NJ. Riley, rep
resenting the Town Council OF st. Clairs-
vile, were in the city yesterday, locking
at our fire department. Chief DunniDg
showed them the apparatus and explained
the workings OF the same, the gen.
tlemen being highly pleased with Wheel
ing's excellent department. st. Glars
Tille is contemplating protecting itself from
fire, and while they are net in position to
have an extensive department, even ap-
preaching thst of Wheeling, they are look
ing about to get some points regarding the
service. Their water supply is scarce, sni
it is probable they will be compelled to
build a system of cisterns from which to
secure water. They may also possibly
adopt system Of reels and pumps similar
to that used in many Of the smaller cities.

AMUSRMENTS
Mile. Rhea.


A fine audience greeted Mile. Rhea and
her company at the Opera House yes
terday afternoon, the play being that ever
beautiful drama Camille" aud Mile
Rhea did not act the title role, she was
Camille" herself. Her rendition was
one OF the most natural ever seen on
Wheeling stage, and she carried her au-
dience with her by that peculiar power
which she alone possesses. Mr. Bell as
Armand" was fine, and the balance OF
the support was as usual excellent. Each
lady received handsome souvenir III the
shape of a silver thimble with "Rhes" en-
graved upon it.
Last evening the company closed its en-
gagement to the only poor house Rhea has
ever played TO in Wheeling, on which ccca-
sion "Frou Frou," in which the actress
bull. up great part of her reputation,
was presented, and its rendition last even
ing was fine, deserving q crowded house
The audience was very appreciative, how
ever, and attempted to make up that way
what it lacked in numbers Mile Rhea's
engagement here Was certainly an artistic
success.

j, 4. Clarke Tonight.

The celebrated old-time comedian, Mr..
]. S. Clarke, will open two lights en-
gagements at the Opera House, this even
ing, in the superb comedy, "A Widow
Hunt" in which he impersonates well
ington de Boots" one Of his best charac-
ters. OF the play aud the star Pittsburg
exchange says:
after so long an absence one would
naturally expect to SEE marked changes III
the comedian S style. but 10 those " hO have
a vivid recollection of the De Boots OF j.
5. Clarke six or eight years ago, 1t would
be difficult to say wherein the actor had
changed the slightest. There was the
same inimitable drollery Of bearing, the
same nobility Of countenarce, the same in
genious by-ply aud the same artistic finish
that have for years made MIR. Clarke pre-
eminent i'll his own particular style OF
comedy. TO all the excellent qualities be
disclosed when seen here last, there are
added the mellowness and scholarly finish
that comes with maturing art. So subtl:
and delicate are the methods employed by
Mr.. Clarke in developing the idea Of the
dramatist that it is difficult to detect the
growth of the character in his hands. But
certain it is that his De Boots appeared to
the audience last night even more finished
than in former years.
The sale of seats for to night indicItes a
large house, and the REGISTER can assure
lovers OF comedy, that they will be enter
tanned in such a manner that they Will
not be satisfied without seeing Mr.. Clarke
again tomorrow evening. Sweetheart,
q delightful little one act comedy, will
precede a Widow Hunt" this evening,
and tomorrow evening that superb com
edy, "She Stocps to Conquer, will be
produced with Mr.. Clarke as "Ioney

CITY COUNCIL
The Regular Meeting F'zzles Out, Through
the Failure OF Members TO Attend.

The Regular Meeting F!zzles Out. Through
the Failure OF Members to Attend.
Last evenings regular session CT Coun'
Gil was not much Of success, through the
fsilure of some halfdczen Second Branch
members 10 attend with that degree of
nrcmptness which is reasonably expected
by their constituents.
In the First Branch the members-al-
WAYS more prompt than the gentlemen OF
the lower house-were in their places 10
the number of dozen by a quarter OF
eight, and after the reading of the minutes,
which consumed good deal of time, they
prepared to transact any business which
might be sent over to them.
Nothing turned up, however, and to kill
time Mr.. Delbrugge introduced the follow
ing resolution:
Resolred, That the City Solicitor be and
he is hereby instructed to draft an ordi-
nance making it Unable offense for per-
sons over ten years of age to congregate on
any corner or street Of the city.
This was passed.
The announcement coming from the Sec
opd Branch that those present had despair
ed of obtaining quorum and gone home,
stopped any further disposition to transact
business, and the First Branch adjourned
until next Tuesday.
In the Second Branch, President Gille-
land raped for order about eight O'Clock,
and a call Of the roll showed that the
Branch was about ten shy OF a quorum.
Officers Junkins and Lukins were given
| lists of the absentees and were instructed
10 bring in all the members they could
find. The tardy ones were thus brought
| in until half-past eight, when there beng
still discrepancy OF four, an adjournment
WAS taken until next Tuesday.
Had the Branch remained in session i've
minutes longer they would have secured a
Quorum, as three members were met hur'
ryin toward the City Hall az the others
were going home, aud Officer Junkins was
turned back at the Opera House corner
with fourth gentleman.
Bills to the amount of 81, 49, AZ were
awaiting the action of the body, but those
interested will have 10 wait another week
| at least.
